Outside the Box is an original Rock and Roll band from the Jersey Shore and New York City. The band was formed in 2004 and quickly developed into one of New Jersey’s most dynamic new bands. The group consists of Jeff Cafone (Guitar, Vocals), Mark Masefield (Hammond B3 Organ, Keyboards), Francis Valentino (Drums), and Ryan Wheeler (Bass). They blend classic elements of rock with a modern flare and a driving pop edge.
In 2008, the band was selected as the Stone Pony Summer House Band for the following two years. Between 2007 and 2010, OTB won Asbury Music Awards for Top Young Band, Top Blues Band, and Top Keyboardist. They also received nominations for Top Rock Band, Top Male Vocalist, Best Live Performance, Song of the Year (Suddenly Saturday), and Top Drummer.
In July of 2011, OTB released their first full-length album “Bridge” which is available on iTunes, Amazon, and other online distributors, as well as CD Baby, and at Jack’s Music Shoppe in Red Bank.”Bridge” is always available at OTB shows as well.
